This comedy revolves around two brothers, both wonderful chefs, who fall out catastrophically.
Gupta made a mark with 2001's moody wartime drama Resistance and his latest, a more personal story inspired by his restaurant-running mum, repeats the trick with this enjoyable family feast.
Not bad, just terribly mild.
Jadoo lacks the great writing of classic food movies like Big Night or Babette’s Feast, but it is a warm and likeable addition to the genre.
Buoyant and beautifully shot the picture is a celebration of food and family life that adroitly sidesteps many cultural cliches.
